That’s very strange, I never encountered any problems using the motherboard with any version of WHS (beta, CTP, RTM).

It was always recognized straight away without the need for any drivers.

I’m in the same boat. Apparently that motherboard is a bad choice for WHS as it’s SATA drivers aren’t supported under Windows 2003 which is the basis for WHS.

I am having trouble when back up runs overnight, system freeze upon wake up drives not being recognized until restart. Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

Hi Andrew,

Congrats on first place!! My brother-in-law, Todd Groten works for MS and is VERY happy there.

Could you help me out with a question?

I desperately need WHS now for my SOHO operation ASAP. Should I wait for HP or build the server you have described on your web site? I have some experience building, mostly electronics and mechanical – little experience with configuration and PC diagnostics.

I would sincerely appreciate your thoughts.

Warmest regards,
